Our Light and Shepherd

Our Light and Shepherd
            II Samuel 23:4, “And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the Earth by clear shining after rain.”  Psalm 23:1 reminds us that “the Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to let down in green pastures: [or pastures of tender grass Cambridge, KJV margin].”  God has not only promised us that He will feed us, but also that He will feed us on tender grass. God doesn’t feed his children on hay or fodder, but rather on tender, green grass. Why would Jesus, the Good Shepherd, do that for us? St. John 10:14 tells us that “I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known of mine.” Jesus knows that we need spiritual food. So He provides us with the best of spiritual food—green, living, tender, nutritious life sustaining grass.
            Psalm 100:3 states, “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are the sheep of his pasture.” Since all Christian musicians belong to God, we have the right to trust Him to take care of and protect us. When he musician’s soul is thirsty and empty with spiritual hunger, the good shepherd will provide the tender spiritual life.  Christian musician, if you feel that your soul is empty, feed on the tender green grass of heaven. If you need help take advantage of prayer, Bible reading and partake of the Lord’s Supper for they will all administer grace to your heart.
